Spider Plank: A Core-Strengthening Workout Move

The Spider Plank is a dynamic core exercise that takes your fitness routine to the next level. In this move, you’ll start in a traditional plank position and then bring one knee towards your elbow on the same side, mimicking the motion of a spider crawling. This engaging exercise not only targets your abs but also works your obliques, shoulders, and hip flexors, helping you build a strong, stable core.

How to Do:

  1. Get on your elbows and toes and make your body like a long, straight stick.
  2. Keep your legs straight and put your elbows under your shoulders.
  3. Make your elbows look at each other, and move one knee out and forward a little, but don’t touch the floor.
  4. Go back to how you started, and then do the same thing with your other knee. Keep doing this again and again.
